CDL Skills Testing

Already trained elsewhere? Take your official CDL skills test right here, on-site - pre-trip inspection, backing maneuvers and the road test, all in one visit.

For Trained Drivers

You did the training. Let's get you tested.

As an approved 3rd-party CDL testing site, Carolina CDL Training Center administers the official Class A and Class B skills tests for drivers who completed their training somewhere else. Testing is offered in either a manual or automatic transmission truck.

No more long waits at the DMV. Schedule with us, show up prepared, and complete every part of the skills exam in a single on-site session.

Why take your CDL test with us

Getting a skills-test slot at the DMV can mean weeks of waiting and a long drive on test day. As a 3rd-party testing site, we make it simpler. You schedule directly with Carolina CDL Training Center, test on a real cone range and on real roads, and finish all three sections in one on-site visit - whether you trained with us or somewhere else.

You can test in a manual or automatic transmission truck. If you test in a manual, your CDL carries no transmission restriction, which means you'll qualify to drive any stick-shift truck on the job. Test in an automatic and your license is restricted to automatic vehicles - still plenty of work out there, but worth knowing before you book.

How to book your test

Call us at (888) 878-9986 or send the contact form and tell us which class you need (A or B) and whether you'll bring your own truck or use ours. We'll confirm a date, walk you through what to bring, and get you on the schedule. Show up prepared and you could leave the same day having passed your skills exam.

Before you arrive

  • Have your valid commercial learner's permit (CLP) and ID ready.
  • Confirm your DOT Medical Certificate is current.
  • Decide on your equipment - your own truck ($250) or ours ($500).
  • Brush up on the pre-trip inspection points and your backing maneuvers.
  • Arrive a few minutes early so we can get you set up without rushing.

Requirements can vary by state and situation. Call us and we'll confirm exactly what you need for your test.
